Overview
SteezUI is a portable UI kit: @steez-ui/theme, @steez-ui/icons, and @steez-ui/ui from one source tree, with two install paths — npm packages or the /r-steez shadcn registry. Next docs make every primitive inspectable.
Problem
Design-system demos often hide the craft that hiring managers need to see: install friction, motion edge cases, and form geometry. SteezUI treats those as the product.
What I built
A monorepo design system with token-driven theming, CSS modules, APG-aligned tabs and forms, and component pages that show preview, usage, and install together. Signature craft includes Cyberpunk Tile, FUI Button Tile, Boiling Lines (intensity presets + reduced-motion), and a Cyberpunk Slider whose fill meets the thumb center.
Hard parts
Dual install without forking the tree. Motion that still respects reduced-motion. Range controls that look intentional at every value, not only the defaults.
Result
Live docs: steez-ui-6v5.pages.dev. Public source: github.com/thomasjvu/steez-ui (recruiter mirror of current main).
